I first heard of your work on The American Tribune Podcast, and listeded to that episode with Will Tanner. Last night I read your Soil and Money article on his Substack. I have pulled up right now your Citadel Theory article, but have not read it yet. Other recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

Growing up my grandpa ran 100 head of beef cattle and 100 head of dairy cows in the southern Idaho area. I spent some summers working with him in my 20’s. Just enough time to learn that I loved working with cows. My uncle still runs his place, they since gotten rid of the dairy cows, but I think business is tough for him.

I’ve dreamed of having my own little heard one day, but as I grow older I realize it takes a lot of hard work to make something like that happen. I may just try working for someone else first before doing my own thing. Lots of challenges you point out in getting started from nothing.
